Thanks Renza! Some of my neighbors have tried it (though its more common in some more northern US states and Canada), and it’s supposed to be a cold winter. Once the cold temps settle in for good, I hope to get the liner and ice in place. I’ll post pictures… stay tuned!

I guess if you’re guest blogging for Medtronic now that you must have finally gotten your insurance to cover the 530G.

Love the hockey rink. Living in Minnesota there are contests every year for the best home rinks and some even have boards and lights. Toby Peterson grew up in my neighborhood and is the age of my oldest son. Gifted hockey player, nice kid, and Type 1. Thanks for the link to the video. Toby’s sister played with my youngest son and competed with the boys until switching to girls hockey in high school.

Well, not exactly. The guest-blogging is part of a deal that allows me to continue using my loaner pump until the insurance issue gets resolved (which reminds me – I need to update my disclosure page).

I’m a big fan of Toby Peterson. I don’t remember offhand where I posted that video link (in case someone’s looking for it), but that CBC interview taught me so much. Not just THAT I could wear a pump and play, but HOW and WHERE to wear it. (Though if I’m using a pump that’s technically not mine, as I mentioned above, it requires a bit more discretion). I don’t know if your son still keeps contact with his family, but if so, please pass along my gratitude.

Yet, the irony is that I’m still fighting to get the pump free and clear — at my own expense and with no strings attached. (also, the pump I get to use doesn’t close the loop — like the pump someone else I know got to try)
